He enters the 2021 season with 619 career wins as a head coach, including 524 wins at the Division I level. In returning to his alma mater, Skole has been tasked with returning the Bulldog program back to one of the top teams in the Southern Conference and restoring the Bulldog’s Championship Tradition. Solidifying his program’s foundation has been his immediate priority, and this began with reestablishing the brand of Citadel Baseball.

While the Bulldogs have lost 9 of their last 11 games, they do sport a 17-7 record in games played in Charleston's Riley Park this season and a 2-8 record in games played on the road (both conference series thus far were played on the road for the Bulldogs). This will be a difficult team to beat in Riley Park.
